{"product_id":"italo-mus-natura-morta","title":"Attributable to Italo Mus - Still Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Still Life\" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the \"Still Life\" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe artist who created this work maintains a figurative style, faithful to reality. He carefully captures the sensory details of the objects depicted, tending to enhance their plastic qualities. His brushwork is just vibrant enough to imbue the objects with vibrations that are more existential than luminous. Color thus prevails, delineating harmonious and regular forms. Indeed, the choice of simple objects allows the artist to resolve the composition into a harmonious dialogue of geometric shapes. A rationalist sense prevails in the representation of reality, which, however, is tempered by the action of light, which, with quick flashes of white, brings the objects to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work has been attributed to Italo Mus, born in Chatillon in 1892. His father, Eugenio, a sculptor, directed him towards the art of carving, and he later attended the Accademia Albertina. Italo Mus made his debut in 1912 at the Salon of Young Painters, where he won first prize. In addition to painting, he devoted himself to restoration and fresco painting, moving for brief periods, between 1913 and 1914, to Lyon, Lausanne, and Friesch. In 1927, he won the Grand Prix de la Montagne at the Milan Trade Fair, and in 1932 he created the War Memorial in Saint-Vincent. In 1938, he began to participate regularly in the Promotrice di Torino, and in 1950, he achieved great success at the Venice Biennale. From 1959 to 1963, he exhibited at the national Biennales and at the Permanente in Milan. In 1966 he presented a large retrospective at the Promotrice in Turin. He died in Saint-Vincent on May 15, 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver Saporiti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218123600258,"sku":"OSAP003","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/image-20-02-22-12-24.jpg?v=1768471356","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/italo-mus-natura-morta","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
